He kept watching the clover field beside the
way. When he decided he had reached the finest, best perfumed place, he
saw a man plowing on the other side of the fence and thought it might be
Peter and that Peter would wonder what he was doing in his field, so
Mickey set the basket in a corner and advanced.
He was wonderfully elated by what had happened to him and the conclusions
at which he had arrived, as he came across the deep grasses beside the
fence where the pink of wild rose and the snow of alder commingled, where
song sparrows trilled, and larks and quail were calling. He approached
smiling in utter confidence. As he looked at the man, at his height, his
strong open face, his grip on the plow, he realized why the world of the
little woman revolved around Peter. Mickey could have conceived of few
happier fates than being attached to Peter, so he thought in amazement of
the boy who wanted to leave him. Then a slow grin spread over his face,
for by this time Peter had stopped his horses and was awaiting him with an
answering smile and hand outstretched.
